Let's say that I create a form of petition about the state of Worstgen and a list potential change.
How many people would need to sign the petition (reasonnably) for the staff to consider potential change?
A lot of them are very self destructive.
Far right one yeah. Authoritarian one yeah. Religious one also yeah. But that's not because of the radicalization, that's because of the values that such radicalization creates.
The better question would rather be: Is it ethical to radicalize and if yes, in which context?
There are too many changes to this forum all at once, with unrealistic expectations.
Maybe don't let events that are happening IRL directly affect this forum either?
I made a more detailed post on this topic in my previous post.
A prime rule of politics is that a space where reactionaries and fascist can talk freely can only adopt these values over time.
This means that in a fascist world, a forum such as this one, with only basic rules of conduct, will eventually let fascist and reactionaries enter the space, which will eventually push the space toward reactionarism and toxicity. This is not an invention, this is a basic political and social process.
If you want this place to be positive place, then this forum needs to contain the trashtalking behavior and adopt an ethical stance. Then it must be protected from the reactionnarism.
I'm really not overestimating the importance of having progressive an ethical space on the internet in the current geopolitical context (fascism rising everywhere)
.
But I’m very disappointed in the Muslims (especially the ones with Palestine flags in their bio) celebrating this. They’re no better than Zionists. You can’t oppose a genocide then celebrate a shooting intended at killing a people of a certain religion. You’re literally just as bad, if not worse since you’re a piece of shit hypocrite as well. I guess humanity only matters to these fools when it’s Muslims being oppressed. They don’t really care about the poor Palestinians suffering a genocide either. They just want to use it as an excuse to be anti Semitic against Jews. They hate Jews more than they care for victims of a genocide.
Careful. Don't essentialize.
As you said, there might be muslim rejoicing, but they are reactionaries like you said. It's important to keep the nuance especially now, this is what prevent us from separating zionists from jews.
And no, the internet must not be nuke. Without the internet, we wouldn't even be aware of the genocide.
Just like how the Antiracism and Fairness in the west was Always Performative shit said by people in gated Communities, Champagne Socialists if you must
I know Arabic so I Always knew that the whole "We hate Israel not the Jews" was ALWAYS Taqiyya that was said in front of Westerners
You really should stop talking now
because it's done far more bad than it has good
Without internet, there would be no me too, feminism would still be stuck in the 90', there would no awareness of genocides and massacres, imperialism would be hands free, racism would be hands free. There would be no representations, the world would be slow down by decades in term of protests and human rights.
Yeah, internet accelerated the rise of fascist ideas, but it also accelerated the rise of progressive one too.
